DISADVANTAGES OF THE PRIOR ART

The prior art have failed to solve many problems associated with chicken coops, as follows:


1) No prior art mention or disclose any chicken coop, having

    • automatic egg-collecting teeter-totter 129.
    • Therefore, the prior art of chicken coop:
      • a) Can not collect eggs; and
      • b) Can not allow eggs to roll down to one end of automatic egg-collecting teeter-totter 129
        • in the direction of arrow 180a
        • (see FIG. 10C and FIG. 10D)
